Examples

The following code example shows how to implement a custom event that uses the WebRequestInformation type.

Also shown is an excerpt of the configuration file that enables ASP.NET to use this custom event.

Ensure that your custom event is raised at the proper time, that is, when the equivalent system health event it replaces would be raised.

Remarks

ASP.NET health monitoring allows production and operations staff to manage deployed Web applications. The System.Web.Management namespace contains the health-event types responsible for packaging application health-status data and the provider types responsible for processing this data. It also contains supporting types that help during the management of health events.

Instances of the WebRequestInformation class contain information that is obtained using the WebRequestEvent, WebAuditEvent, WebErrorEvent, or WebRequestErrorEvent types.

Your application needs the appropriate permissions to access protected information provided by this type.

Note

In most cases you will be able to use the ASP.NET health-monitoring types as implemented, and you will control the health-monitoring system by specifying values in the healthMonitoring configuration section. You can also derive from the health-monitoring types to create your own custom events and providers. For an example of creating a custom event class, see the example provided in this topic.

Properties

Principal	Gets the instance of the managed-code principal associated with the Web request.
RequestPath	Gets the physical path of the Web request.
RequestUrl	Gets the logical path of the request.
ThreadAccountName	Gets a string that represents the Windows logon name of the user on whose behalf the code is being run.
UserHostAddress	Gets the user host address.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
FormatToString(WebEventFormatter)	Formats the Web-request information.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
